Missiles launched from the Iranian city of Tabriz were aimed at Jordan or Iraqi Kurdistan, not at Israel, according to reports. At least four of the missiles were reportedly headed toward Jordan. No early warning alerts were activated in Israel, consistent with the assessment that Israel was not the target.
Missiles launched from the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz were aimed at Jordan and possibly Iraqi Kurdistan, not Israel, according to reports. At least four of the missiles were assessed as heading toward Jordan. No early warning alerts were triggered in Israel, supporting the assessment that Israel was not the intended target. The development comes at 04:57 Jerusalem time, minutes after The Zioneer reported at 04:54 that Iran had launched missiles from Zanjan, Tabriz, and Urmia with the target still unclear.
This update refines earlier reporting. At 04:52 Jerusalem, Israeli military sources indicated the first indication of a launch from Iran toward southern Israel had been detected, but the present assessment suggests those warnings may have been precautionary or related to a separate wave. The initial bulletin at 01:03 Jerusalem reported launches from Tabriz, Kermanshah, and Khorramabad with target uncertain, and a subsequent item at 02:21 Jerusalem noted launches from Tabriz toward the Gulf states or Jordan based on an unverified Arabic-language desk report. The thread shows the trajectory assessment shifting from Gulf states or Jordan to a more specific Jordan/Iraqi Kurdistan focus.
As The Zioneer reported on June 10 (06:56 Jerusalem), Jordan previously intercepted all five Iranian ballistic missiles targeting a US air base. The present reports of missiles aimed at Jordan, a close US ally, may signal a continued Iranian operation targeting American bases or partners in the region, as The Zioneer reported at 00:36 Jerusalem regarding ongoing clashes in the Strait of Hormuz and an IRGC claim of an attack on a US radar in Erbil, northern Iraq.
The reports remain preliminary and unverified. No details on interceptions, impacts, or casualties from the Jordanian side have been reported. Whether the missiles were intercepted or struck their targets remains unknown.
